In this ever speeding world we have new ways of doing things quicker.
4 number digits for accounts/burglar alarms, email addresses, passwords etc.
How many different combinations of information do you have in your head?
Do you forget them?
Do you have special ways to remember?
I have terrible problems remembering passwords and PIN codes.
I have a password safe at work, where I can access ALL my passwords with one main password.
Otherwise I would be lost!
I keep all of my digits on my hands, right next to my thumbs.
Before cell phones came along, I had a near-photographic memory for phone numbers. But since we don't need to remember numbers any more, that part of brain has pretty much completely atrophied. It's kind of a shame.
I though that would happen to me too when I got a cell phone, but it didn't. For some reason, if I want it to, a number stays in my memory without much effort to remember. Strangely, I think that sometimes the effort to remember is the biggest obstacle towards actually remembering.
I keep around 100 phone numbers in mind but sometimes I forget one if I don't dial it for six months...
Around 20 email addresses, 30 passwords and codes...
what happens if you do a backflip?
Wasn't he that dude who was stranger than the Arab he killed?
Very good, Set. He indeed was and I avoid him like the Plague...
